Buick Grand National body

[1of1547]

Does anyone know if a Buick Grand National body was ever made or better yet still being made? I've got a Turbo Regal and would to have a matching R/C car.

I've personally never seen one.

There was a Kyosho complete, I think it was called Stock Car Regal or something similar. Basically it was a late 80's Buick Regal Nascar bodied kit. The body was pretty nice looking. That's the closest I know of to a GN. I thought about getting one back in the day and painting it black because my parent's had an 87 GN.

Rick, I don't think that's what he's talking about. I think he's looking for a G-body Grand National. Those Regals are the generation after and they didn't have a GN model, I think they had a GS model. I don't have an image of the Kyosho kit, but I might have an image in an old RCCA I can scan. In the mean time, this is the 1:1 GN. Bad to the bone.

Thanks for your help guys. That's the exact car I'm looking for. I only wish mine looked that good!!! I'd love to find a 1984-87 Buick Grand National body (G Body) or even a plain Jane Regal body. I've owned mine for 10 years now and have never seen a body for sale anywhere, even eBay. I was planning on emailing the body manufacturers. But the original black GN is 26 years old now. So I doubt they will make them again if they made one.

Looks like it's time to hit up Lex to make you some.

Man, this is dredging up an old topic, but why, oh why, is there not a 1/10-scale Lexan body of this legendary Buick??!

I was researching this all over the 'net and found one thread dated back to 2007 where some guy had been in some negotiations to have Monogram produce a 1/10 body, and another later thread by the guy proclaiming that "the body is here!!" and stating it would be in production soon...and then both threads just died.

If I could make a mold of my 1/1 '86 GN and scale it down to 1/10, I would...

Thanks for posting that link. Never heard of them before. Some pretty sweet bodies.

In response to the original topic...I did a bunch of research tonight and managed to turn up info on a particular toy RC that was sold at Wal-Mart, made by Motormax Hi-Riserz, an '87 Regal. It was a silly low-rider POS with a Regal body on it, but I was thinking--if somebody could get their hands on one of those, it could be used to vacu-form a GN body. Here's a picture of it, it came in several ridiculous colors like lime green, purple, etc. The body looks detailed enough, anyway.
